As a person with an able mind and busy hands, I find myself responsible for pushing my imagination to the limits of what it is capable of. To discover and execute new ways of exploding onto a blank wall or canvas in a psychedelic barrage of fantastical monstrosities brought to life through the mind of an obsessed child. As a boy, I was obsessed with the fiction that fueled my vivid imagination: comic books, Fantasy films, role playing games, cartoons, beasts, monsters, robots, and art. Many, many hours of drawing as a child has gotten me to where I am now. I guess you could say what I do now is really just a glorified version of what I did as a boy. My goal is to continue the connection I had as a kid to all things fantastical. To continue seeing things in the same awesome light that they so wonderfully appeared to me years ago.
